The Baltimore Ravens seem to like what they have in first-round quarterback Lamar Jackson, but they're still deciding how to best use him during his rookie season.

Head coach John Harbaugh said he's expecting Jackson to be active on game days, and perhaps even in on the action - in an unconventional way.

"Gosh, I sure like him out there helping us," Harbaugh said, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. "If you put two quarterbacks on the field at once, what options does it create for our offense? That's what we're trying to figure out."

Harbaugh and the Ravens will need to get creative with Jackson, as veteran Joe Flacco is expected to retain the starting job for at least the 2018 season.

The 33-year-old signal-caller is under contract for the next four years and carries a $24.75-million cap hit this season.
